Who We Are

The mission of Volunteers of America Northern Rockies is to compassionately serve and strengthen individuals by empowering them to build healthy and happy lives.

Volunteers of America is a national, nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in need rebuild their lives and reach their full potential. Volunteers of America Northern Rockies was established in Sheridan, Wyoming, in 1985. We are fueled by love and compassion, a deeply-held belief in human worth and dignity, and an unfailing dedication to the human spirit. All of our programming is about helping those we serve create whole lives.

Our holistic and integrated service model allows us to move individuals, families -- and even communities -- from instability to security, from feeling unseen and uncared-for to acknowledged and affirmed, and from isolation to independence. Our results clearly demonstrate that when you see and work with the potential in everyone, you can accomplish more than anyone thought was possible.

Our programs include the following:

Residential Treatment: We offer both long-term residential treatment (ASAM III.5), (average length of stay of 90 days) and a transitional living program (ASAM III.1) for clients reintegrating back into the communities of Sheridan and Riverton, WY.

Social Detoxification: Volunteers of America Northern Rockies offers a non-medical safe place for individuals to withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs in Sheridan and Riverton, WY.

We are proud of earning the highest ranking in behavioral health care – the three-year accreditation -- from Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), a prestigious, independent accrediting organization focused on quality and outcomes. In addition, we are the only treatment center in the nation to have obtained a White Bison Certification, indicating proper adherence to the Native American Wellbriety Movement.

Volunteers of America Northern Rockies is committed to a timely intake review process. Admission is granted in a timely fashion if space allows.
